Bradley's Summer Carrot Salad

This is my favourite salad to eat all the time not just in Summer and it is super quick to make, especially when the boyfie is doing the making. He says that this is a "whatever he has in his pantry" salad, I have to say it's a well stocked pantry.

Ingredients:For the salad

3 Carrots finely grated

Chargrilled Artichokes chopped (The Woolworths ones)

Small handful Parsley chopped

Half a palm full of Raisins

Half a palm full of Sultanas

Small handful Sesame seeds

Bed of greens (your preferred combination)

For the dressing

Juice of half an orange or a full lime

few drops of sesame oil

Olive oil

Salt & pepper to season

Method:

In a bowl combine the finely grated carrots (that's French style according to boyfie), chopped chargrilled artichokes parsley, raisins and sultanas.

Now squeeze the orange or lime over the salad, add the sesame oil and olive oil

Toss and season.

In the meantime heat a pan on medium heat and toast the sesame seeds

Place the salad on top of the bed of greens and sprinkle the sesame seeds over.

This is also a great substitute for the traditional coleslaw served at a braai. Just keeping it healthy.
